4.1.4 Editing Airport Identifier Fields
The METAR screen of the Data Link Weather VIEW allows the pilot to enter information
by entering VIEW control mode and using the Data Field Edit functionality. For example,
when looking for METAR information for a specific airport, the pilot can enter the airport
identifier to display the required information.
NOTE
This task uses the METAR data editing capabilities as an example. The process is similar for
any type of data field edits.
Editing Airport Identifier Fields
1. Display the METAR screen of the Weather VIEW (
Figure 4-11
).
2. Push the TEXT Hot Key to display the current airport’s METAR. Data Field
Edit mode is automatically active. The first character of the airport identifier
is magenta and the Left Knob has two magenta labels, EDIT and PUSH TO
ADVANCE (
Figure 4-12
).
3. The airport identifier character that is magenta is selected. Rotate the Left
Knob to select another available character (clockwise moves forward,
counter-clockwise moves backward). Push the Left Knob to move the
identifier selection to the next character, and then rotate the Left Knob
as before (
Figure 4-13
).
4. Push the TEXT Hot Key to exit the METAR.
